Vancouver, Canada








Visited Vancouver, Canada - what a beautiful city! Met some Blackhawk Players and got signed jerseys!!! It was our 30 year Wedding Anniversary in Nov of 09, so thought we would celebrate it on a trip to Vancouver, - what a great city and the olympics will be there in a couple of weeks. The weather was around 50-55 degrees - so much better than Chicago! Even though the Blackhawks lost to the Canucks, it was a nice 4 day trip! Glad to be back home!!
